Market Gardener

I can't find it

16 years ago

I've been looking on the web for hours for "Instant green house" or "keylight" as described in The joy of gardening on page 126. For those of you that don't have a copy it's a wire mesh sandwiched or bonded to clear poly that comes in a roll. It's used for low tunnel growing. I know it's got to be out there some where and I can't even find it in this forum. Thanks for any potential help.-DIG

How old is The Joy of Gardening? This might be something that's no longer made.

check building supply companies. They may use something similar for lath and plaster.
Or, make your own by using concrete reinforcement or fencing wire to make the arch and then cover it with plastic.

Some people use "cattle panels" - square galvanized mesh sections that are about 8'X15' to make the arches, then cover with heavy mil. plastic or greenhouse 4 yr. plastic. They are nice, and moveable for low cost.
Good luck,
Glad
